We welcome applications for several PhD positions in reactive fluid mechanics for aerospace application. More specifically on the fire resistance of Li-Ion batteries and composites as well as on hydrogen combustion. The PhD position available involve experimental work but can also include a numerical simulation component. The student is therefore expected to carry out laboratory work, data analysis and numerical simulation tasks, with a focus to be identified according to individual interests and qualifications.

A new funded PhD opportunity is available at the University of Bath. The project is on elastic tailoring of composite winglets on aircraft. 

The opportunity comes with an enhanced stipend (for students who quailfy). 

PhD start date: September 2024. Application deadline is the 30th of May 2024.

More details about the proejct can be found here. 

We are looking for a highly motivated candidate for a PhD position between École des Ponts ParisTech and University of Pavia, starting October 2024. The position is part of the EU-funded project MISCEA, an ambitious multidisciplinary Doctoral Training Network under the Horizon-Europe Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions COFUND.

The Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Utah invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in the area of additive manufacturing with an anticipated start date in Fall 2023. Please see the full position details here:
